baseUrl not support '.'

See original GitHub issue

Is this a bug report?

Maybe

Version:

react-scripts: 3.0.0-next.68

Error info:

Your project’s baseUrl can only be set to src or node_modules. Create React App does not support other values at this time.

tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...,
    "baseUrl": "."
  },
}

Question:

Why is baseUrl currently limited to src or node_modules?

I think setting the base url to “.” is safer than setting it to “src”. Imagine you have a file like named “src/react/index.js/ts” (or named like some other famous library) for some reason By setting the baseUrl to “src” you’d need to do import ... from "react", which might lead to confusion. If the baseUrl is set to ‘.’ it would be import ... from "src/react", which is less confusing and less likely to have name clashing.

I think the question was about why the support is limited to these values. Seems like a legit question.
